Laura Codruta Kovesi

Romanian officials are pressing on with their campaign to stop former anti-graft prosecutor Laura Codruta Kovesi from heading the new European Public Prosecutor’s Office – summoning her on Thursday for a second hearing in an abuse case.

Despite her own government's efforts to block her appointment as EU public prosecutor, Romania's former anti-graft prosecutor, Laura Codruta Kovesi, has won the support of two European Parliament committees.
